State SongBy Stephen C. Foster
My Old Kentucky HomeThe sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home
‘Tis the summer; the people are gay;The corn top’s ripe and the meadow’s in the bloom,
While birds make the music all the day;The young folks role on the cabin floor,
All merry, all happy, and all brightBy’n by hard times come a -knocking at the door
Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight!The head must bow and the back will have to bend,
Wherever the people may go;A few more days and the trouble all will end
In the field where sugar-canes may grow;A few more days for to tote the weary load,
No matter, 'twill never be light,A few more days till we totter on the road,Then my old Kentucky home, good night!
